Learn the KeysBassoon

A note appears on the staff and you press its keys straight onto the bassoon diagram, then hit done. A stopwatch runs on every note, so what you find out isn't only whether you know a fingering — it's how long it takes you to find it.

There are five levels, of five, ten, fifteen, twenty and twenty-five notes. Level one is the first five notes; later levels run down into the low range and up high enough that the staff changes from bass clef to tenor. Notes that can be spelled two ways are asked both ways, because B♭ and A♯ are the same key and different things to read. Alternate fingerings count as correct wherever the instrument really has one.

The E hole cycles closed, half and open, and the thumb keys are all live, so the answer for a note is the whole hand rather than the fingers alone. When a round ends you get your total time, your accuracy, your average per note, and a list of the notes that still need work.

It's free and it runs in this browser tab, with nothing to install. You can look through the levels without signing in, but starting one asks you to make a free account, because a round writes its time and accuracy to your progress — and if a teacher assigned it, to theirs. The fingering chart the game is built on needs no account at all.
